Mahadji Scindia did restore the Maratha authority in Northern India with the help of his cavalry and French trained gunners and artillery.

But after his death in 1794, the Maratha Sardars were not in a good position to fight with British forces, though leaders like Mudhoji II Bhonsle Sena Sahib Subha and Daulatrao Scindia did put up a valiant effort.

Before the battle, the Peshwa's commander, Moropant Dixit, had tried to bring Captain Ford onto his side, but these overtures were refused.

In their eagerness to attack a Portuguese battalion, which had come up under cover to enclosures, some of the English sepoys became separated from the rest of the line.

The next skirmish occurred after 5 November at Yerwada where Sardar Yashwant Ghorpade's forces were lured away by the British by bribing.

This paved the way for battalions coming from Ghodnadi and Jalna and gunners of Panshes artillery to join the British, resulting in the Peshwa fleeing Pune.
